PASADENA, Calif., May 6, 2026 – Dine Brands Global, Inc. (NYSE: DIN) (the “Company” or “Dine Brands”), the parent company of Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill + Bar®, IHOP® and Fuzzy’s Taco Shop® restaurants, today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.
“Dine Brands reported improved comp sales versus the prior year with all brands outperforming Black Box, driven by our focus on everyday value, culturally relevant marketing, and disciplined execution,” said John Peyton, Chief Executive Officer of Dine Brands. “We’re confident in the progress of our strategy and continue to make great progress on our dual brand opportunity where we remain on track to achieve approximately 80 domestic restaurants by the end of the year.”
Vance Chang, Chief Financial Officer of Dine Brands, added, “Our continued investment in dual brand development, remodels, and our company owned portfolio is driven by the positive feedback from our franchisees and our guests. Our asset lite model allows us to fund long term value creation initiatives while providing support to our franchisees and returning capital to shareholders concurrently. We remain committed to our capital allocation priorities.”

First Quarter of 2026 Summary
•
Total revenues for the first quarter of 2026 were $225.2 million compared to $214.8 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher company-owned restaurant sales, mainly attributable to the increase in the number and timing of when we acquired restaurants from franchisees.
•
General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $53.1 million compared to $51.3 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by employee costs as we invest in our dual-brand and company-owned restaurant initiatives.
•
Net income available to common stockholders was $7.2 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.57, for the first quarter of 2026 compared to net income available to common stockholders of $7.8 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.53 for the first quarter of 2025.
•
Non-GAAP adjusted net
income1 available to common stockholders was $13.5 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.07, for the first quarter of 2026, compared to adjusted net income available to common stockholders of $15.4 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.03, for the first quarter of 2025.
•
Income before income taxes for the first quarter of 2026 was $10.1 million compared to income before income taxes of $12.8 million for the first quarter of 2025.
•
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA2 for the first quarter of 2026 was $50.8 million compared to $54.7 million for the first quarter of 2025.
•
Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first quarter of 2026 were $7.5 million. This compares to cash flows provided by operating activities of $16.1 million for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the year over year impact of performance plan compensation payments.
•
Adjusted free cash flow3 was negative $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2026. This compares to adjusted free cash flow of $14.6 million for the first quarter of 2025.
•
Development activity by Applebee’s and IHOP for the first quarter of 2026 resulted in 24 new restaurant openings and 40 restaurant closures.
